Next Episode

Next Episode follows a cast of reality-television ghost hunters: Troy, Rachel, Ben, Jasmine, Paolo and Dylan, better known as the Operation: Haunting team. Their lives are unusual ? one day they may be VIPs at a fan convention, answering questions about the show; the next, they're filming on location, waiting for the knocks, shadows, cold spots or energy spikes their viewers love and the network expects. Ben relies on technology, while Rachel follows her intuition. Jasmine is fearless, and Troy keeps everyone calm. Dylan, just voted onto the team, is delighted with her new career but can't quite figure out why the unfriendly archivist, Paolo, comes on location with them ? until she discovers what the audience will never see.

Between their workday encounters with the unexplained and uncanny, the OpHaunt team face network demands and personal trials. Famed for showing the supernatural to the public, the teammates are themselves haunted by the secrets they live with, and must keep, off-camera.
